In Passages: Predictable Crises of Adult Life, Gail Sheehy explores the psychological and emotional transitions that adults experience as they navigate the various stages of life. Drawing from extensive research and interviews, Sheehy identifies distinct "passages" or turning points that individuals face, from young adulthood to old age. These passages are predictable and often challenging, marking periods of intense personal growth, change, and self-discovery. Sheehy delves into the complexities of human development, emphasizing the importance of these transitions for personal and social development. She explores how individuals cope with such crises, ranging from career shifts, relationships, and aging to the evolving sense of identity and purpose.

Through a combination of case studies and theoretical analysis, Sheehy highlights how these predictable crises shape people’s lives. She challenges the notion of a linear, smooth progression through adulthood, instead offering a nuanced view of human development. Sheehy argues that these passages are not failures or signs of instability but integral components of a lifelong journey toward self-realization and fulfillment. The book offers insights into how individuals can navigate these transitions with resilience and optimism, providing readers with a deeper understanding of the emotional and psychological complexity of adulthood.
